My name is Dania Schnell and I'm from Cranston, Rhode Island. My major fields of study here at URI are Biology and General Science. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love trying new things and meeting new people. I love to watch sports and cheer for my favorite teams, the Red Sox and the Patriots. In my free time, I like to run, go on bike rides, read, and go to the beach.
Unit Plan - Natural Resources - The purpose of this unit is to introduce the topic of Human Impact on the Earth's Resources to the students, which is a real-life issue that the students will hear about in the news and directly affects their own lives. I will use this real life issue to teach the following subtopics in the 3rd Quarter subject of Natural Resources: human population growth, human impact on land, air, and water. One activity that I want students to complete during this unit is that students will have to find a newspaper article, that relates to Global Climate Change, summarize it, and say how it relates. This is designed so that students will realize that this is an everyday, current issue in the news, and hopefully this will stress the importance of the topic to them.
By the end of the unit, I want students to understand the human impact on Earth, why it is so important, and how students can reduce their impact on the Earth. I want students to be able to describe what they can do in their everyday lives to combat issues we have discussed. I feel that this is the most important part of the unit, because students are taking what they learned throughout the unit, and making connections and applying it to their own lives.
